Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention may provide a new stainless steel powder suitable for manufacturing of sintered duplex stainless steels. Embodiments of the present invention may also relate to a method for producing the sintered duplex stainless steel.
  • Duplex stainless steels have been known to the industry for more than 60 years. They are widely used in heat-treated cast, wrought and gas atomized powder forms, in many applications that require a combination of high strength and high corrosion resistance. However, they are unavailable today, in the water atomized powder form for use in press and sinter applications.
  • duplex stainless steels Common uses for duplex stainless steels include chemical process plants pipeline, petrochemical industry, power plants and automobiles. They are also used in food processing industry, pharmaceutical process components, paper and pulp industry, in desalination plants and in the mining industry. Duplex stainless steels are known for their high resistance to inter granular corrosion (IGC) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in chloride media. Chloride is severe challenge that leads to rapid corrosion media for iron-based alloys.
  • ITC inter granular corrosion
  • SCC stress corrosion cracking
  • austenite stabilizers e.g., nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co)
  • ferrite stabilizers e.g., chromium (Cr), silicon (Si), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti) and niobium (Nb).
  • duplex stainless steel As mentioned previously, the high strength and high corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel is believed to come from a balance of ferrite and austenite in the microstructure.
  • the microstructure depends not only on the chemistry but also on the heat treatment carried out on the material.
  • All duplex steel compositions today make use of N in the chemistry, as N is a strong austenite stabilizer. N, when present in the alloy along with Cr, poses problem of forming nitrides which are deleterious to the properties such as strength and corrosion resistance.
  • an intermetallic phase known as "Sigma” is formed in a heat affected zone (HAZ) due to slower cooling rates.
  • HZ heat affected zone
  • This Sigma phase is a hard, supersaturated, intermetallic phase containing Cr and Mo. The area around the Sigma phase is depleted of Cr and Mo and becomes weak and less resistant to corrosion. Often duplex stainless steels need annealing and quenching process to reduce or eliminate this Sigma phase.
  • the steel In wrought or cast duplex stainless steels, the steel is solidified as ferritic steel and the austenite phase is precipitated out from ferrite during cooling of the alloy.
  • the cooling rate is critical after casting or any heat treatment, as the cooling rate determines the percentage of austenite and any intermetallic phases precipitated within the structure.
  • Typical composition of wrought duplex stainless steel is Fe with 32-23wt% Cr, 4.5-6.5wt% Ni, 2.5-3.5wt% Mo, and 0.08-0.2wt% N, such as for SAF 2205.
  • the main obstacle in using low cost water atomized powders for conventional PM use is increased N and possibility of intermetallic and carbide precipitation due to cooling rate during the sintering.
  • conventional sintering needs some wetting agents or low temperature melting constituents to increase free energy and accelerate the kinetics of austenite phase precipitation within ferritic matrix.
  • SE538577C2 discloses a sintered duplex stainless steel made from gas atomized powder and having a chemical composition with a max 0.030wt% C, 4.5-6.5wt% Ni, 0.21-0.29wt% N, 3.0-3.5wt% Mo, 21-24wt% Cr, and optionally one or more of 0-1.0wt% Cu, 0-1.0wt% W, 0-2.0wt% Mn, 0-1.0wt% Si wherein N is equal or greater than 0.01*Cr and the remaining elements are Fe and unavoidable impurities.
  • EP0167822A1 discloses a sintered stainless steel comprising a matrix phase and a dispersed phase and a process for manufacturing.
  • the dispersed phase is an austenite metallurgical structure and is dispersed throughout the matrix phase, which is comprised of an austenitic metallurgical structure having a steel composition different from that of the dispersed phase or a ferritic-austenitic duplex stainless steel.
  • JP5263199A discloses production of a sintered stainless steel comprising a matrix phase and a dispersing phase.
  • the method includes mixing a ferritic stainless steel powder with a powder selected from an austenitic stainless steel powder, an austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless steel powder, an austenitic-martensitic duplex stainless steel powder and austenitic-ferritic-martensitic stainless triple phase stainless steel powder.
  • the powder mixture being compacted and sintered.
  • EP0534864B1 (Sumitomo) discloses a sintered stainless steel having a content of N of 0.10-0.35wt% and made from gas atomized steel powder having the same chemical composition as the sintered stainless steel.
  • N content helps the above properties, it can pose hurdles in post processing, such as heat treatment and welding operations, by forming chromium nitrides, which limits the use of duplex stainless steels in many applications.
  • powder form N increases the powder hardness making it less suitable for press and sinter applications.
  • Embodiments of the invention overcome the problem with nitrides by avoiding the use of N in the chemistry, for example, having less than 0.10 wt% N or less than 0.07 wt% N, or less than 0.06 wt% N, or less than 0.05 wt% N, or less 0.04 wt% N, or less than 0.03 wt% N, and achieving phase balance and strength by alternative elements.
  • Embodiments of the invention may enable production of water atomized powder with moderate compressibility for use in conventional press and sinter applications.
  • Embodiments of this composition may also reduce precipitation of a deleterious 'Sigma' phase; irrespective of rate of cooling during sintering or annealing, mainly due to lower Mo content. Thus minimizing post sintering heat treatments necessary to eliminate "Sigma" phase and minimizing Sigma phase precipitation during welding.
  • Embodiments of the composition may offer similar advantages when formed by gas atomization.
  • compositions yield similar properties when processed with Casting, Direct Metal Deposition and Additive Manufacturing techniques.
  • One object of certain embodiments of the invention is to provide an alloy powder for conventional PM that will produce a duplex structure during a sintering cycle.
  • Another object of certain embodiments of the present invention is to obtain at least 35% higher tensile strength than ferritic steels such as 430L and double the corrosion resistance than austenitic steels such as 316L.
  • Still another object of certain embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a duplex sintered stainless steel without the need of post sintering heat treatment.

  • the unavoidable impurities do not include the listed elements of C, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Mo, W, N, Cu, P, S, B, Nb, Hf, Ti, or Co.
  • Unavoidabale impurties may include impurities that cannot be controlled, or controlled with difficulty, during manufacture of steels. These can come from the raw materials used and also from the process. These include, Al, O, Mg, Ca, Ta, V, Te, or Sn.

  • a hydrogen atmosphere an atmosphere of a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, or an atmosphere of dissociated ammonia.
  • carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide atmospheres may be used.
  • said consolidation process includes one of: Metal Injection Molding (MIM), Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) or Additive Manufacturing techniques such as Binder Jetting, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) or Direct Metal Deposition (DMD).
  • MIM Metal Injection Molding
  • HIP Hot Isostatic Pressing
  • Additive Manufacturing techniques such as Binder Jetting, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) or Direct Metal Deposition (DMD).
  • forced cooling or quenching is excluded from the cooling step.
  • Cr is a major element in stainless steels which forms a Cr 2 O 3 layer on the surface which then prevents further oxygen passing the layer, therefore providing an increased corrosion resistance.
  • Ni is another major element which affects the properties of stainless steel. Ni increases the strength and toughness of the steel and also when present with Cr, enhances the corrosion resistance. Mo and W both impart the strength and toughness when present along with Ni. Mo also enhances the corrosion resistance along with Cr and Ni. Si acts as deoxidizer preventing O combining in the steel during melting and also Si is strong ferrite former. Cu is austenite stabilizer. Cu also increases the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Especially in conventional PM, Cu helps sintering promoting liquid phase sintering.
  • Embodiments of the invention provide a powder suitable for producing sintered duplex stainless steel, as well as the sintered stainless steel.
  • the powder and the sintered stainless steel having a low or neglectable content of N. This eliminates the problem of formation of deleterious nitrides during fabrication of the sintered stainless steel.
  • the sintered stainless steel is preferably produced from a compacted and sintered water-atomized powder since the low N content makes it possible to produce water-atomized powder with reasonable compressibility.
  • Mo is normally present in stainless steel as it strongly promotes the resistance to both uniform and localized corrosion. Mo strongly stabilizes ferritic microstructure. At the same time Mo is prone to precipitate Mo rich "Sigma” and "Chi" phases at Ferrite- Austenite grain boundary.
  • Ni promotes an austenitic microstructure and generally increases ductility and toughness. Ni has also a positive effect as it reduces the corrosion rate of stainless steels.
  • Cu promotes an austenitic microstructure.
  • the presence of Cu in the powder of the present invention facilitates the sintering process by enabling liquid phase sintering.
  • W is expected to improve the resistance against pitting corrosion.
  • Si increases strength and promotes a ferritic microstructure. It also increases oxidation resistance at high temperatures and in strongly oxidizing solutions at lower temperatures.
  • B, Nb, Hf, Ti, Co may enhance the properties.
  • B when added in small % may help in liquid phase sintering.
  • excess B, if present, may form borides, which are deleterious to both mechanical, and corrosion properties.
  • Nb and Hf when present may stabilize the microstructure by preferentially combining with carbon forming fine carbides freeing Cr for the corrosion resistance.
  • Ti in stainless steels may increase the tensile strength and toughness.
  • Co increases the high temperature mechanical properties.
  • Elements such as C, Mn, S and P should be kept at a level as low as possible in the powder of embodiments of the present invention as they may have a negative effect to various extent on compressibility of the powder and/or mechanical and corrosion preventive properties on the sintered component.
  • unavoidable impurities may be tolerated up to a content of 0.8% by weight of the powder according to the present invention.
  • composition of the powder according to embodiments of the present invention is designed such that the produced powder will have fully (e.g., at least 99.5%) ferritic structure in the powder form and austenitic phase is precipitated out during sintering cycle. This will allow controlling the ratio of ferrite and austenite by adjusting the sintering parameters.
  • the composition is targeted such that 5 ⁇ Ni eq ⁇ 11 and 27 ⁇ Cr eq ⁇ 38. This places the alloy in at the border of Ferritic - Duplex region on Schaeffler Diagram.

  • the compacted or consolidated body is subjected to a sintering process at sufficiently high temperatures in the range of 1150°C to 1450 °C, preferably at sufficiently high temperatures in the range of 1275 °C to 1400 °C for a period of time of 5 minutes to 120 minutes.
  • a sintering process at sufficiently high temperatures in the range of 1150°C to 1450 °C, preferably at sufficiently high temperatures in the range of 1275 °C to 1400 °C for a period of time of 5 minutes to 120 minutes.
  • other period of sintering time such as 10 minutes to 90 minutes or 15 minutes to 60 minutes may be applied.
  • the sintering atmosphere may be vacuum, inert or reducing such as a hydrogen atmosphere, an atmosphere of a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen or dissociated ammonia.
  • the supersaturated elements in ferrite matrix precipitate out as an austenitic phase. Austenite will start precipitating out at the grain boundaries and with further sintering will grow and precipitate
  • the composition of embodiments of the present invention should not form sigma phases or other hard and deleterious phases, e.g., Chi phase and nitrides, during cooling from an elevated temperature, irrespective of the cooling rate.
  • the amount of sigma phase or other hard and deleterious phases is less than 0.5%.
  • Forced cooling or quenching is thus not necessary to apply.
  • forced cooling means that the sintered parts are subjected to a cooling gas at a pressure above atmospheric pressure. Quenching means that the sintered parts are submerged into a liquid cooling media.
  • a microstructure as shown in Figure 1 will typically be formed containing ferrite and austenite. Presence of both phases is responsible for elevated mechanical and corrosion properties. No, or significantly limited amounts of, deleterious phases such as sigma and chi are formed during cooling which are normal for current known duplex stainless steels. As another consequence, this property will reduce or eliminate the formation of such phases during welding where the heat affected zone (HAZ) experience varying cooling rates. In another consequence, this composition will limit the precipitation of such phases during processes such as casting, extrusion, MIM, HIP and additive manufacturing.
  • Embodiments of the invented alloy has shown mechanical and corrosion properties that are comparable to or exceeding the wrought and PM products manufactured with known duplex stainless steel alloys available.
  • certain advantages of embodiments of this invention may include fewer tendencies to precipitate deleterious sigma and chi phases that affect the mechanical and corrosion properties. This is particularly of interest in welding. Most of the duplex stainless steel components are welded after they are formed. Welding imparts different cooling rates in different parts of HAZ. These cooling rates tend to precipitate sigma and chi phases along with nitrides due to nitrogen present in the current known alloys. Absence of these phases may eliminate the post heat treatments, which normally involve annealing at temperatures above 1200 °C followed by rapid cooling. This in most cases becomes difficult when parts are welded to a bigger structure limiting use of duplex stainless steel.
  • a stainless steel powder having a particle size below 325 mesh, i.e. 95wt% of the particles passed 45 ⁇ m sieve, was mixed with 0.75wt% of Acrawax as a lubricant.
  • the chemical analysis of the stainless steel powder was 0.01wt% C, 1.52wt% Si, 0.2wt% Mn, 0.013wt% P, 0.008wt% S, 24.9wt% Cr, 2.0wt% Cu, 1.3wt% Mo, 1.0wt% W, 0.05wt%N, balance Fe.
  • the obtained powder mixture was pressed in a uniaxial press and compacted into transverse rapture strength (TRS) bars, according to ASTM B528-16 at a compaction pressure of 750 MPa.
  • TRS transverse rapture strength
  • the pressed TRS bars were then sintered in 100% hydrogen atmosphere at 1343°C with ramp rate of 7°C/minute for 45 minutes. This was followed by furnace cooling at rate 5°C/minute.
  • the samples were then mounted and polished for microstructure examination.
  • the polished samples were then electro-etched with 33%NaOH at 3V for 15 sec. Electro-etch with NaOH reveals the ferrite phase as tan, austenite as white (unaffected) and sigma phases in dark orange at grain boundaries within ferrite matrix.
  • the microstructure observed is as shown in Figure 1 .
  • the microstructure shows approximately 50/50 mixture of ferrite (tan) and austenite (white). There is no sign of any sigma phase (dark orange) in the microstructure.
  • the chemical composition of the stainless steel powders are shown in table 1.
  • Stainless steel melts having various chemical compositions were melted in an induction furnace, the molten metal was subjected to water stream to obtain steel powder.
  • the obtained powders was then dried and screened to -325 mesh.
  • the screened powder was -45 microns i.e. 95wt% of the powder particles were less than 45 microns.
  • the powders were then mixed with 0.75wt% of the lubricant Acrawax.
